John Denver : Leaving on a Jet Plane

In the novel The Islands at the End of the World by Austin Aslan ,the characters sing this beautiful song before boarding a plane.I think we have all thought about this song at least once before a flight .

All my bags are packedI'm ready to goI'm standin' here outside your doorI hate to wake you up to say goodbyeBut the dawn is breakin'It's early mornThe taxi's waitin'He's blowin' his hornAlready I'm so lonesomeI could die

So kiss me and smile for meTell me that you'll wait for meHold me like you'll never let me go'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you downSo many times I've played aroundI tell you now, they don't mean a thingEv'ry place I go, I'll think of youEv'ry song I sing, I'll sing for youWhen I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for meTell me that you'll wait for meHold me like you'll never let me go'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave youOne more timeLet me kiss youThen close your eyesI'll be on my wayDream about the days to comeWhen I won't have to leave aloneAbout the times, I won't have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for meTell me that you'll wait for meHold me like you'll never let me go'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go

But, I'm leavin' on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go
